Kirby Smart Staying at Alabama

The Mobile Press-Register is reporting that Kirby Smart will remain as defensive coordinator at Alabama rather than accepting the same position at Georgia.

The article referred to a quote from Nick Saban from the Rolando McClain press conference:

“Kirby (Smart) is going to be staying here at the University of Alabama with us,” Saban said.

Since this appears to be true, Georgia has again missed on a top tier defensive coordinator. Bud Foster and John Chavis have also spurned Georgia, although neither had concrete “offers” from Mark Richt.
